String harmony was beautiful. I enjoyed the call and response between the triangle and pizzicato strings (though the triangle was a bit loud compared to the rest of the mix). Bass was simple and worked well. Song overall creates a mysterious vibe, good job. On the mp3 version (didn't check the wav version), there is about half a minute of dead silence at the end of the song.
I enjoyed the rock section and the bell melody was quite fitting. IMO the synth saw could've used a filter to tame some of the higher frequencies to let the bell stand out a bit more. Still, a very cool song.
Tbh, I felt the white noise percussion was a bit too busy and winds up masking the melody... it wasn't until 0:58 that I realized it was supposed to be a waltz. I enjoyed the melody once I knew what to listen for, especially around 0:48... but on the first listen I was lost.
I like the horn motiff, though it gets a bit tired after several repetitions. Bell, guitar, and percussion build up nicely to the transition at 1:24 and the subsequent rhythm provides a nice military march. Cool guitar melody at 2:20.
Instrumentation works well and it's certainly a piece folks could dance to. At 1:34 when the drums take a break for a measure before coming back in has a nice impact. Song has enough variety to keep the listener's attention. Nice one.
Like the swells, adds some drama to the piece. Snare rhythm works well and I like the mallet melody. Cool moment at 1:14 when the bass comes in. The section starting at 1:50 succeeds in building tension until it resolves at 2:24 at which point the cellos provide a warm texture. This song reminded me a little of "Like a Night of Falling Stars" from the SHMUP "Mushihimesama",
Nice dynamics on the lead synth. I like the bass tone. Nice call and response at 0:14 and 1:16, melody and counter melody develop nicely. Enjoyable song overall.
Felt the frog noises were a little distracting, but other than that I rather enjoyed this one. This strings in the harmony provided a warm texture and the melody was enjoyable... jazzy and heroic at times. The minor transition at 1:40 was really nice.
Bass and reverbed bells establish a calm, moody vibe. I like the synth melody at 0:38. Wasn't a fan of the pauses, felt the sections could've transitioned well into each other. The song keeps it simple and it really works well in this case.
Love the transition at 0:23, sax and drum are really cool there. IMO the kick may have been a bit too aggressive in the first section though since you're establishing a mysterious mood with the sax and pads. The ending was a bit abrupt... felt like you wanted to do a longer song tbh.
Nails a middle eastern vibe with the winds and strings. Love the percussion rhythm and the folly effects work well. However, I felt the white noise starting at 0:55 kinda' drowns out the more interesting instrumental parts, would've preferred if it decrescendoed shortly after being introduced.
I like that this piece tells a story, where in the first section the machine (or whatever) is doing its thing pumping out its phrase, but then breaks at 1:37, and gradually establishes a groovy rhythm as it struggles to continue pumping out the phrase. My only issue is that the first section is rather heavy on the high pitches and thus a bit harsh, would've liked a lower pitched bass or drone to help balance it out.
Really cool rock song. Love that crunchy guitar rhythm and wailing lead. Percussion is nice and meaty. The brass runs provide some nice, dramatic punctuation. Only bone to pick IMO is that I would've liked it if the choir faded out around the same time as the lead guitar (plus when the choir does end, it's rather abrupt). I also felt that repeating the percussion phrase at the end, after everything else finished, was a bit superfluous. Still, great piece that could fit well in a military action scenario.
Rather chill groove for calmly making one's way to the emergency exit, no panicking! Love the intro with the guitar and flute. At 0:23 where you have the guitar and flute layered for the melody, I felt the attack on the flute was a little too slow. Nice transition to the next part and the grunts and dissonant guitar provided some nice tension. Percussion was nice and punchy.
Ominous pads, tubas add some intensity when they come in. Cymbals have a nice impact when they come in. Really enjoyed this one, though I felt the bass drum was a bit superfluous.
Lovely piano piece, really enjoyed it. I felt the section after 1:06, where the melody gets a bit more swingy, could've been enhanced with a few grace notes introducing some of the phrases.
An interesting piece. I like the the crackling drone and the pads were nice. The screech providing the rhythm was a cool touch, though I felt it was a bit too prominent throughout... perhaps an oscillator on the volume could've provided some moments to focus on the pads? The most interesting moments IMO were those warning sounds that popped up every now and then.
Really like the fluttering and swelling horns in the first section (and fun articulations throughout the song). I like the triumphant motiff at 1:56. Incredibly dynamic piece. Really cool.
Very dramatic, dynamic, and cinematic. I liked it a lot, though I felt the piano melody could've used a little support around 1:08 when the lady choir and horns come in with the counter melody.
Alright, that section starting around 0:20 ending in the pitch bend was really, really cool. The woodwind and strings in the next section were quite nice as well, however IMO the water SFX was kinda' competing with the instruments to be heard there, maybe decrescendo it a tad when the flute comes in? Anyway, really enjoyed this one.
